Mornings at Duke's (GirlxGirl)

What Are Bestfriends For

After talking with Dani and planning the operation WEB I went straight to Taylor's. Dani said I should probably tell her when I said I didn't. I was feeling guilty ever since ignoring to talk to her after the infamous night. She was worried about me and trying to help me in any case but here I was, still not telling her.

I am such a shitty friend.

We had gone through a lot with Taylor. And when I mean a lot, I mean  A LOT. Needlesly to say she was my bestfriend ever since childhood and would always stay that way. She was the sister I never had and honestly, when I learned she had had an accident I realized I could never lose my bestfriend in any way. She meant too much; my number one.

I pressed the bell and took a deep breath, trying to ignore the big stress knot in my stomach. The door was opened by Nicole to my luck. She seemed genuily suprised to see me.

"Hello Melanie."

"Hi Nicole, I was just wondering if Taylor was home."

She smiled to that and looked back to the house, as if she was looking if Taylor was behind her. When she saw she wasn't, she took a few steps towards me and whispered.

"You know she is missing you like crazy right? Seriously Melanie, if she said anything or did something wrong please just forgive her. She was devastated the whole week, wondering what she had done."

That was a knock right to my heart. I didn't want to cause that pain to my bestfriend. I felt like a terrible friend and knew I was actually. I tried to gave Nicole a smile.

"Don't worry I am here to fix that."

Nicole beamed and said she was going for a walk so we could have all the privacy. I thanked her for everything and she said she just wanted the best for Taylor. I felt comforted by her words because it showed me that my best friend had someone to take care of her in the best way possible. I relied Nicole on that.

Taylor had been through things no one should in the past. All alone too. It broke my heart to know I wasn't there for her on her bad times and I couldn't help but ti feel worse because of it. We were together now and I was acting like I didn't trust her enough.

Once I closed the door after Nicole, I began walking to the livingroom, looking for Taylor.

"Tay?" Few seconds later a confused and astonished looking Taylor walked in from the balcony with a book in her hand.

"Melanie?" She spoke and began getting teary. Before I could have a chance to talk, she beat me into it.

"Mel I am so sorry! I don't know what I did but I am-" I cut her by giving her a tight hug. She immediatly threw her hands around me.

"I missed you Tay." I said softly to which she smiled.

"Miss you too Annie."

I laughed at the nickname and we parted. And in that moment I knew it was time for to explain it all. I took a deep breath and sat on the sofa.

"There is something I need talk to you about." I said, not looking at her.

"You know you can trust me right?" She asked. I nodded but still kept my gaze on the ground. It was not easy telling Taylor I "possibly" had feelings for her close friend.

Once she realized I wasn't speaking, she squated in front of me, putting her hands on my knees.

"Melanie, you know I support you with every decision you make. Hell I'd help you if you said you were going to rob a house."

I laughed to her and shook my head.

"I am not going to rob a house."

"Thank god. They would eat us alive at the prison. Do you know what they d to lesbians there? It's so not like OITNB."
